Early reports from the preliminary road traffic investigation into the accident that killed the Late Minister of State for Labour, Mr. James Ocholi SAN, his wife and son has brought up curious and indicting revelations. The Corp Marshal of the Federal Roads Safety Commssion (FRSC), Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi who led the investigation team, told the Federal Executive Council that besides the reports that alleged the driver to be over-speeding, it found out that the Dunlop tyres on the sports utility vehicle (SUV) were wrongly attached to the rim inwardly instead of outwardly. He noted that the Tyres were far from expired. He added that the vehicle was without a communication link with the minister’s pilot vehicle occupants who tried desperately to communicate with the minister’s driver through his phone to reduce his speed. Oyeyemi, who gave details of the investigations, said the driver who had driven at high speed lost control when the rear tyre of the vehicle they were travelling in burst on the Kaduna-Abuja expressway, about 180 kilometres from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The investigation came after a call for investigation into what has been described as a conspiratorial event by the uncle to late Minister. He said that the front seat passengers who had seat belts survived and said it was unlikely the Late Minister and his family at the back seat used seat belts. He said the drivers details were not registered on the FRSC database as licensed drivers. He called onPresident Muhammadu Buhari to lead the campaign on road safety. The Federal Government has announced March 18 for the burial of the late minister.

I doubt if the hardworking FRSC Corps Marshal would have uttered the mumbo jumbo being posted here. In the first instance, what is a pilot vehicle? From my understanding, the vehicle is meant to pilot a vehicle which should normally be at its Rear; in that case, you don't necessarily try desperately to try to warn the driver of a vehicle you are leading to control his speed, all you need do is to slow down and the accompanying vehicle automatically take a cue from the lead vehicle. If the tyres of the Jeep were wrongly placed, that could be a genuine error from those government mechanics, afterall, the same Jeep must have been performing some functions since the tyres were fixed before this fateful day. But one thing is sure, an unseen gun shot that tyre - metaphysically speaking sha.
